Hi joh...@freebsd.org
& cc ports@
A 9.0-RELEASE ports fails on
cd print/texinfo ; make fetch
unless one imports newer values from current, (as I did in my
http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ports/gen/print/texinfo/distinfo.REL=ALL.diff
)
But periodicaly patching distinfo with new SHA256 & SIZE
is not a good solution as
- We can only update values in /pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/
(as done already), but
- The values are frozen at release time to whatever is exported by
cvs -Q -R export -r RELEASE_8_0_0 ports
- Periodically internet contents of 2 files texinfo.tex & texi2dvi will change
while names remains the same,
- Then along comes a user, trying to make fetch from a release, & it fails.
So how best to modify Makefile to not break on size & sha256 of
some but not all files ?
The question can't be unique to this port, would a half way house
be nice ? An Mk/bsd.port.mk macro to sniff at & warn but not error
if certain values are wrong ? To support some shorter named version of eg:
WARN_IF_NOT_SHA256 (texinfo.tex) =
f506a97fe0ea0388c9b29653bd9b9ed8e188d3d649a9e9485e2e051bba47496e
WARN_IF_NOT_SIZE (texinfo.tex) = 321252
WARN_IF_NOT_SHA256 (texi2dvi) =
bf6fc2d85b52cde8e7919b5a379804a3d1eeaa95cb781c7daf79fd5f3cc8e6be
WARN_IF_NOT_SIZE (texi2dvi) = 58102
I see Mk has:
NO_CHECKSUM is a user variable and is not to be set in a
port's Makefile.
It's also too crude for this, as
- the checksum of texinfo-4.13.tar.gz is invariant & should be checked.
- if one let loose eg
cd /some...release/ports ; make fetch
one would want mots other checksums checked.
current Mk/bsd.port.mk has
# DISABLE_SIZE - Do not check the size of a distfile even if the SIZE field
# has been specified in distinfo. This is useful
# when using an alternate FETCH_CMD.
I see no analagous
DISABLE_SHA256
DISABLE_CHECKSUM
Thoughts ?
Cheers,
Julian
